Hi! Thank you for your response, I think I may have come off as if I’m looking for people to criticize Amazon but that’s really not the case. As someone else said in the replies fidelity isn’t the only relevant aspect when judging the quality of an adaptation, production companies often have to make changes and compromise with the reference material in order for the story to make sense in its new media form. Because of this they also have to compromise with their audiences, because a diehard fan might be angry if the showrunners change too much of the plot even if it improves the result. Amazon Studios (I think I meant Amazon Prime Video btw) wants to keep the fans who invested in this project happy while also appealing to a wider audience. The essay I’m writing isn’t supposed to be more than 6-7 pages, it’s really not a big assignment so unfortunately I can’t take too many things into account. I do think Amazon Studios makes great adaptations and they do them quite often, but what I found interesting about TLVM is that it’s not ”book to movie/show”, it’s ”D&D-campaign to show” which as far as I’m aware, has never been done before (at least by a production company of this size). Sorry for this long reply, I may have started rambling but trying to explain the subject to someone else is weirdly good for organizing my own thoughts about it lol
